What the care home does well

Kenway Court has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Residents have excellent opportunities to undertake educational and other activities both at the home and in the wider community. The accommodation provided for residents is very spacious and designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Because of this people feel that they can be more independent and have more control over their own lives. People living at Kenway Court and their families spoke very highly of the service and many positive comments were received. One said `since coming to Kenway Court my life has really started to take off and I feel so happy.` Another said `I am really happy and well cared for too.`Residents living at Kenway Court felt that the care/nursing care offered at the home was very good and flexible to meet their needs.

What has improved since the last inspection?

This section is not applicable as this was the first inspection at Kenway Court.

What the care home could do better:

The home`s care planning information and documentation is all held on computer and is very detailed. However management at the home need to show how residents are involved in planning and in agreeing how their care/nursing needs are to be met. Some attention to detail is needed to ensure that residents` medicines are stored and managed properly. Since the home opened much effort has been put into ensuring that all staff are well trained and up to date in core and other areas. There is however still a way to go before the home will be able to demonstrate that it has a staff group that are fully trained, and up to date in all areas that might be needed in order to meet residents needs.

The visit took place over a six and a half hour period. At this inspection all the key standards were considered. This was the first inspection of the home since it was registered in January of this year. Prior to the site visit the home had submitted their Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA.) They also provided a pre-inspection questionnaire (PIQ), and other additional information that assisted with the inspection process. At the site visit a tour of the premises took place, care records, staff records, medication and other documentation were selected and various elements of these assessed. During the site visit people living at the home, a visitor and some of the home’s staff were spoken with. As part of this key inspection questionnaires for social care professionals, visitors, health professional residents and staff were provided for the home to distribute. The views expressed at the site visit and survey responses have been incorporated into this report. The inspector was assisted at the site visit by an administrative assistant, the nurse on duty and other members of the staff team. Feedback on findings was given throughout the visit. A feedback card on the inspection process was left at the home. On the day of the site visit fourteen residents were living at Kenway Court. The inspector would like to thank the staff team, residents, relatives and visiting professionals for their help throughout the inspection process. What the service does well: Kenway Court has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Residents have excellent opportunities to undertake educational and other activities both at the home and in the wider community. The accommodation provided for residents is very spacious and designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Because of this people feel that they can be more independent and have more control over their own lives.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 2. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People will have information made available to them about the home to help them to make informed choices. They can be sure that they will be offered the opportunity to visit the home, and have their needs assessed before moving in. EVIDENCE: The home is newly registered and an up to date Statement of Purpose was available in the home. An information/application pack was available to give out to potential residents. The AQAA submitted by the home said that a Service Users Guide in different formats is being developed to provide accessible information for new potential residents. When developed, the home’s Service Users Guide should include details of fees to be charged by the home. Residents living at the home were very much involved in planning their move to Kenway Court from the three John Grooms homes where they were previously living. One said that they were given regular updates on the buildings progress. ‘At these meetings we could voice any questions that we felt needed answering, and were satisfied with the answers given.’ At the site visit a new admission was expected on the following day. It was seen that a pre-admission assessment had been completed, and the care planning process commenced. Other admissions are currently being planned, and a phased approach was clearly in place. In one case an admission was Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 planned for August. The resident/their family had visited the home, chosen their room, had a name on the door in readiness, and were planning furnishing arrangements. Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7, 9. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People know that their care needs will be understood and planned for. They can be sure that they will be encouraged to make choices and live as independently as possible. EVIDENCE: Residents living at Kenway Court felt that the care and support they received was ‘first class.’ Most have moved to the home together with staff that they knew from their previous small John Grooms homes. The home uses a computerised care planning and recording system called ‘saturn.’ The system provides a comprehensive package that allows all aspects or residents’ health care and social needs to be assessed, planned for and kept under review. Assessments, support plans, daily notes and other elements for two residents were viewed using the system. Information was well compiled and maintained. The system can be used by all staff to record information. The nurse on duty reviews entries and makes any additional notes on each Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 shift. It was not clear how residents or their families were involved in the care planning process, or if the system allowed for people to agree their care plans. The nurse on duty was unclear on this point and felt that for some residents this would not be possible. The whole ethos at Kenway Court is to support residents as individuals to live their lives as independently and as flexibly as possible within a residential environment. Through interactions during the site visit it was seen that residents are very much encouraged to be self determining. ‘Saturn’ allows for risk assessments to be undertaken in relation to residents individual care needs.

They know that they will be able to maintain contact with friends and family. EVIDENCE: Kenway Court has facilities available, and adopts an enabling approach to providing residents with a meaningful lifestyle. Residents have the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge. Two residents have just completed college courses in different subjects. Residents told the inspector of other courses that they were looking forward to starting in September including computer studies and digital photography. Residents continue to enjoy the social contacts, for example the local PHAB club, that they took part in before the move to Kenway Court. Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 The home has three vehicles available to assist residents in accessing the community. Some residents are able to go out and about independently. Residents spoken with said that they liked the central location of the home and the fact that they were able to come and go as they wished. The home is convenient for local amenities, which are used frequently by residents. Resources such as the mobile library visit the home. Residents’ are able to attend church when they wish. Kenway Court employs two activity co-ordinators who between them provide cover seven days a week. The home has a large activities room which provides a very good range of equipment including two computers with internet access. A wide range of opportunities and outings are available to residents. A monthly activities sheet is provided, to keep people informed of what is on offer. Each month an activities meeting is held so that people can say what they enjoyed, what did not work so well, and make suggestions for future activities. Further developments such as a sensory room are planned. Residents said that friends and family were able to visit at any time. A visitor’s room and other private areas are available for residents to use when having visitors. During the site visit staff promoted residents privacy and independence.

One resident said ‘there is no structured time to get up, we decide what we want to do each day.’ Feedback on surveys confirmed that residents can do as they wish at any time of the day. Residents said that they enjoyed the food at the home and are offered a range of choices for main meals. Mealtimes can be flexible to accommodate residents’ needs. Records showed that if residents were out at mealtimes, a meal was saved for them or other arrangements made. The dining room at the home is spacious and lunchtime on the day of the site visit was a relaxed occasion. Residents who required assistance to eat were helped appropriately by staff. A drinks preparation area is available in the dining room so that residents can help themselves/have staff assist them to hot or cold drinks at any time.

Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19, 20. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents can be assured that they will receive personal and healthcare support based on their individual needs. People cannot be sure that their medication is stored in optimum conditions. EVIDENCE: Most residents at Kenway Court require a significant level of assistance with their personal care and support. Support plans gave staff guidance on how to support individual residents with personal care. Kenway Court is fully equipped with POSSUM environmental systems and other aids to daily living. Residents felt that this was very beneficial and had greatly increased their ability to be independent, in comparison to their previous homes. One resident demonstrated how they could open and close their own windows, curtains and other equipment in their room. Residents’ preferred routines are recorded. Residents said that there were no restrictions on the times they came in, went to bed or got up. They said that staff were available at any time they needed them. Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Kenway Court provides nursing care. Therefore there is always at least one trained nurse on duty to monitor and attend to residents’ healthcare needs. One residents said, ‘I receive all the nursing care that I need which is really great.’ Records and discussion during the site visit showed that the home are proactive in responding to any changes in residents’ health. Residents currently living at the home are registered with one practice, and a doctor from that practice visits the home on a set day each week. Records showed that residents have different specialists involved with their care, and are supported to attend specialist or routine health/dental appointments as necessary. A member of staff said that this was now much easier. This was due to the homes central location and the availability of three vehicles and drivers reducing the need to rely on hospital transport with the long waits that this often caused. Medication at the home is mainly managed via a monitored dosage system (blister packs.) The system was generally well managed but it was noted that medication had not always been booked in on individual medication administration records. The temperature in the medication storage area is not routinely monitored. On the day of the site visit, in spite of a fan being on, a thermometer in the storage area was recording a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. This is above recommended storage temperature for most medications. Medication is always administered by a trained nurse. It was confirmed that recent medication training had been undertaken. Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22, 23. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents know that they can raise concerns, and that they will be safeguarded from abuse. EVIDENCE: Kenway Court is newly registered and no concerns have been raised with the CSCI. It was not thought that any complaints/concerns had been raised with the home. On the day of the site visit the complaints book/recording system for compliments/complaints could not be found. Residents said that they would raise any concerns with their key worker or the manager. A complaints procedure was on display and copies available in residents’ bedrooms. The home’s complaints procedure needs some updating to include details of funding authorities, which people may contact if they wish and who have a duty to investigate complaints. Training records and survey responses showed that staff had undertaken training in safeguarding adults. Staff spoken with confirmed this and understood what abuse meant. Information on the protection of vulnerable adults and whistleblowing was available that included relevant contact details to use in the event of an incident occurring. One resident was identified as having behaviour that was challenging to staff and others. There did not appear to have been any staff training in this area. One member of staff was identified as having undertaken a ‘management of aggression’ course in 1997. Staff surveys confirmed that no training in this area had been undertaken. Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 34, 35. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents can be assured that they will be assisted by safely recruited, well trained and motivated staff. EVIDENCE: Residents spoke highly of the staff at Kenway Court, felt that they understood their needs, and were kind and considerate. A resident said that staff always spoke and acted respectfully towards them. Training records identified that many staff at the home have completed disability awareness training. Across the staff team there is a good level of training and relevant competencies identified in many areas including palliative care, swallowing and communication, epilepsy awareness, and bereavement. The home has approximately thirty two care staff in post. On the home’s pre inspection questionnaire it was identified that eleven care staff hold a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) at level two or above. At the site visit it was identified that approximately a further 10 staff are currently undertaking an NVQ. Those spoken with were enthusiastic and keen to complete this training. Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The files of two recently recruited staff showed that staff are recruited safely to protect residents. Those viewed had POVA first checks, Criminal Records Bureau checks, references and other required elements in place. However, a recent photograph was not available in all cases. A new member of staff spoken with said that they had received a good induction into the home and after three months they were just completing this. A record of this could not be found, but others were available that showed that staff go through a comprehensive induction programme. A survey response said that the induction undertaken had been ‘excellent.’ Staff training is tracked by the use of ‘Continual Personal Development’ sheets. These identify the training undertaken by individual staff. Another file had individual sheets for each staff member which identified training needs and details of prospective training with planned dates. From these it was seen that the home are steadily working towards ensuring that all staff are trained and competent in all relevant areas. The home has a staff training room available, which contains a library of resources, television, video and DVD player. Staff said that they found the resource useful and were allowed to take time out to spend on NVQ work, or to look up other information relevant to their job. Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home.

Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 38, 39, 42 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents’ benefit from living in a well managed home that has clear leadership, and where their views are sought and listened to. EVIDENCE: The newly registered manager is a registered general nurse who has many years experience in care. The home has an open and inclusive atmosphere. Regular residents meetings are held. Minutes of these showed that people are encouraged to be involved in the development of the home and to express their views. Regular staff meetings are also held. As the home is new, specific quality assurance exercises have not as yet been undertaken. However John Grooms have previously demonstrated a strong Kenway Court DS0000070235.V344737.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 commitment to quality assurance. A quality assurance exercise and development plan dating from March 2006 was seen. This related to one of the homes whose residents moved into Kenway Court, and was very detailed. All systems and services at the home are new. Records showed that processes are in place and carried out for regular checks to be carried on fire alarm systems, water systems and equipment. Staff training in core areas is ongoing, and the home are currently putting in a lot of work to ensure that all staff are trained and up to day in key areas. However a staff training matrix showed that there is still some way to go in this. Many staff are identified as requiring update moving and handling training.
